Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas?

Merry Christmas

From

Live Musician Central

It’s Christmas time again for 2009 and I’d like to wish everyone who’s been reading Live Musician Central a very merry Christmas. To celebrate, I’m posting the video to one of my favorite Christmas songs, titled “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”. This song was released in 1984 and was written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. The song featured many of the top Irish and British musicians of the decade and was released to raise money to help provide relief to those ravaged by the famine in Ethiopia.

The song is an amazing collection of talent and is a testament to putting differences aside and completing a very important project. The song features many singers and musicians, most notably Sting, Bono, Boy George, Paul Young and Phil Collins. I hope you enjoy seeing the video and I hope you all remember those that are in need at this Christmastime.
